1. **Problem Statement:**
Graph the function $s(d)$ where $s$ is the speed in miles per hour and $d$ is the distance in feet the driver brakes.
2. **Understanding the problem:**
We are given points approximately at $(10,30)$ and $(25,35)$ on the graph where the first coordinate is $d$ (distance) and the second is $s$ (speed).
3. **Plotting points:**
- Leftmost point: $(10,30)$
- Three additional points: We only have one more given point $(25,35)$, so we need to estimate or find two more points to complete the four points.
4. **Assuming a linear relationship for simplicity:**
The speed increases as the braking distance increases.
5. **Finding the equation of the line through points $(10,30)$ and $(25,35)$:**
Slope $m = \frac{35-30}{25-10} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$
6. **Equation of the line:**
Using point-slope form:
$$s - 30 = \frac{1}{3}(d - 10)$$
Simplify:
$$s = \frac{1}{3}d - \frac{10}{3} + 30 = \frac{1}{3}d + \frac{80}{3}$$
7. **Calculate two more points using this equation:**
- For $d=15$:
$$s = \frac{1}{3} \times 15 + \frac{80}{3} = 5 + \frac{80}{3} = \frac{15}{3} + \frac{80}{3} = \frac{95}{3} \approx 31.67$$
- For $d=20$:
$$s = \frac{1}{3} \times 20 + \frac{80}{3} = \frac{20}{3} + \frac{80}{3} = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.33$$
8. **Summary of points to graph:**
- $(10,30)$
- $(15,31.67)$
- $(20,33.33)$
- $(25,35)$
These points can be plotted to graph the function $s(d)$.
**Final answer:**
$$s(d) = \frac{1}{3}d + \frac{80}{3}$$
